General Safety Summary

Carefully read the following safety precautions to avoid any personal injuries

or damages to the instrument and any product connected to it. To avoid

potential hazards, please use the instrument as specified.

Only qualified technical personnel should service this instrument.

Avoid fire or open flame.

Use properly rated power line connections.

Use only the specified power line which has been approved by your local

regulatory agency.

Ground the Instrument.

The instrument is grounded through the protective ground conductor of the

Introduction to SDG1000X

The manual covers the following 2 models of SDG1000X Series

Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators: SDG1032X and SDG1062X.

SIGLENT‘s SDG1000X is a series of dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform

generators with specifications of up to 60MHz maximum bandwidth, 150MSa/s

sampling rate and 14-bit vertical resolution. The proprietary EasyPulse

technology helps to solve the weaknesses inherent in traditional DDS

generators when generating pulse waveforms, and the special square wave

User Interface

The SDG1000X can only display parameters and waveform information for

one channel at a time. The picture below shows the interface when CH1

chooses AM modulation of a sine waveform. The information displayed may

vary depending on the function selected.

Figure 1-4 User Interface

1. Waveform Display Area

Displays the currently selected waveform of each channel.

2. Channel Status Bar

Indicates the selected status and output configuration of the channels.

3. Basic Waveform Parameters Area

Shows the current waveform‘s parameters of each channel. Press Parameter

and select the corresponding softkey to highlight the parameter to configure.

Then use number keys or knob to change the parameter value.

4. Channel Parameters Area

Displays the load and output settings of the currently selected channel.

Load ----Value of the output load, as selected by the user.

Press Utility → Output → Load, then use the softkeys, number keys or knob to

change the parameter value; or continue pressing the corresponding output

key for two second to switch between High Impedance and 50Ω.

High Impedance: display HiZ.

Load: display impedance value (the default is 50Ω and the range is 50Ω to

100kΩ).

Note: This setting does not actually change the instrument‘s output impedance

of 50Ω but rather is used to maintain amplitude accuracy into different load

values.

Output ----Channel output state.

After pressing corresponding channel output control port, the current channel

can be turned on/off.

5. LAN Status Icon

SDG1000X will show different prompt messages based on the current network

status.

This mark indicates LAN connection is successful.

This mark indicates there is no LAN connection or LAN connection is

unsuccessful.

6. Mode Icon

SDG1000X will show different prompt messages based on the current mode.

This mark indicates current mode is Phase-locked.

This mark indicates current mode is Independent.

7. Menu

Shows the menu corresponding to the displayed function. For example, Figure

1-4 shows the parameters of ―AM modulation‖.

8. Modulation Parameters Area

Shows the parameters of the current modulation function. After selecting the

corresponding menu, use number keys or knob to change the parameter

value.
